What did you do with your truck/shop today

[SnakeEyeSS]

If its like mine:

 

Turn key to on but not start, using the driver information buttons, hit the button until you see it read something like " reset(or match) tire pressure sensor (or monitors)" push the check button and the horn will honk twice. Inflate or deflate driver front tiresfor 5 second or more. The horn will honk within 30 seconds telling you the sensor is matched to the position, if over 30 seconds, try again. After two minutes the system will reset and you need to start over. The correct sequence in order is driver front, passenger front, passenger back, driver back(aka clockwise ).

 

The procedure should be in your owners manual also.

Just saw you say "New". Lol, I have heard some tire shops will do it for free, just call around.....

I tried this on my '07 Vmax after trading a guy my 17's for his 18's. Tried until my freakin' tires were about flat, then found out that it works for relocating your current monitors, but apparently not for new monitors. This according to my last dealership anyway. I was hoping something had changed. Oh well, they'll do it for free and they're a mile from my work, so I'll let them do it- no honking or tiny little 12V compressors for twenty minutes a tire needed. Thanks anyway SnakeEyes.

For 2012 up (at least my camaro) you have to have the tool. I bought one online for $80

 

I washed the truck. It was filthy. Also added a vinyl carbon fiber bowtie to the camaro

 

Oh yea filled up the truck. E85 has dropped below $3. It is current $2.99

Ryan is your truck E85 tuned?, also what kind of MPG's do you get with E85?

Not specially tuned. Justin did the in person tune in July 2010 and I had run E85 for 7.5 months straight. Nothing special with using E85 that he noticed. I think its been over 2 yrs since I have run regular (93 octane) gasoline.

 

I usually get between 11-12 mpg on E85 (note on my 2000 running 87 and same trips I was getting 12 mpg). Since I went up to a larger tire size it has dropped to about 10. I need to drop in the tune justin sent to correct the tire size. Doubt it will change much as these tires are much heavier than stock.

sounds like I'll be buying the tool if they start charging me in the spring to change back to the 22's...Ryan, did you calibrate the speedo for the tire size? Are you calculating mpg old school or by the dic?

I do it in excel by the milage/number of gallons pumped. I have been seeing the DIC higher by .3 of a gallon. Last fillup DIC said 11 and it calculated to 10.7

 

I still need to upload the revised tune for the tires.

 

Here is the gm tpms re-learn tool I have (not my photo found on internet)

Used the other truck (02' 2500 HD) and cleaned up my back yard. Three trips to the town drop off for yard debris, leaves, branches, etc.

I got rid of the stock wheels on my Tahoe; they were Goodyear Wrangler HP's. I hated them. I ordered some new BFG Rugged Terrain's. and I LOVE them. I had them on another truck I had, and they handled driving to Alaska, from MA., in the Winter just fine. I wanted to get something better on my truck, before the snow started flying around here. It is supposed to snow tomorrow.

Finally aimed the 4 PIAA 520 SMP ATP lights mounted to the front of my truck (smittybuilt light bar) last night. Drove to my hunting spot this morning and they were awesome.

[SarahsGMC]

you know what i did? alot.

[SILVERADOSC540]

Thanks Ryan. I googled OEC T5 and the first hit had it for $64.97. It looks like it also does new key fob re-learns as well. Might have to have one of these, I found a brand new fob(and key) to the '07 Vmax I traded in on this truck. HMMM I wonder where that thing is parked....

[SILVERADOSC540]

i hope that I have your luck Frogfish. I'll drop the page in my favorites in case I lose a remote. (actually my wife but she's watching me type this). Crap, she saw me.
